الملخص EN

This study aims at identifying the extent to which aggressive behavior of teenage boys is related to the residential environment of the families of the students of private and governmental schools in Bethlehem district.

The quantitative methodology with its descriptive and inferential parts was applied for its suitability for this type of studies .

The study sample was randomly taken following the stratified way, in terms of variable type of school (governmental, private).

The sample consisted of (1174) students from (16) Schools in Bethlehem district, distributed between the villages and cities of Bethlehem ; it reached the rate of (% 18.8) of the research community.

A questionnaire was designed and prepared for the purpose of the study and for collecting additional data.

The students were reported–through the questionnaire-to the aspects of aggressive behavior and to details about their families.

The results indicate that the aggressive behavior is related to the economic level of the residential neighborhood of the family and to the type of housing the family inhabit.

The aggressive behavior is related to housing in the neighborhoods of low economic level as well as neighborhoods of high economic level.

The results also show that the aggressive behavior of the boys is more related to housing in a brick house or in a tent than it is in a villa or an apartment.

The assembly that the family lives in is not related to aggressive behavior because of the movements of villagers to the cities, reducing the gap between the village and the city.
